Liu Zong looked up suddenly when he heard the footsteps, but saw that it was Aunt Bai, who had just had a miscarriage not long ago, and there was a girl with a tray behind her. The girl seemed to be a little shy, and half of her body was hidden behind Aunt Bai.

The reason why Liu Zong noticed the girl was because this girl didn't seem to be the one that Aunt Bai usually brought with her, and secondly, because the girl was dressed up too prominently, which was a little unreasonable.

Bai Yueyu said with a smile: "Guard Liu is too worried, but the concubine saw that the prince had worked hard to send some soup." ”

Liu Zong knew that the master's previous attention to this woman was just for the son in her womb, and now it is naturally not as good as before, especially when the master is in such a mood today, I am afraid that he does not want to see these women.

He kindly persuaded: "It's really unfortunate, the prince is in a bad mood today, and the master's temper Aunt Bai also knows, so don't go in and disturb Ba, so as not to be angry." ”

Bai Yueyu smiled sweetly when she heard this, and turned sideways to reveal the woman behind her who was trembling slightly, and said softly: "Then the concubine won't go in, just let this girl send things in." ”

Only then did Liu Zong see that the girl was delicate, delicate and lovely, and she was exactly what the master liked. He was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "She's not ......"

Bai Yueyu intercepted his words and said, "Since Guard Liu knows that the prince is in a bad mood, why don't you think of something to make the prince happy?" If you believe me once, the prince will like it. ”

Liu Zong was skeptical, although he was a little hesitant in his heart, but he couldn't make up his mind. I heard Bai Yueyu say again: "It's just to let this girl go in and send something to eat, the prince doesn't like it, so he let her out, and there is nothing to lose left and right." Are there still few such things in our palace? Why should Liu Shiwei make a big fuss. ”

Liu Zong also said in his heart when he heard this, although his master is not addicted to beauty, he likes the new and hates the old the most, aren't these dozen aunts in the house all coming like this. It was only because this woman was a little special today that he hesitated slightly.

"Okay, then you go in, be smart, and see if the prince is unhappy, get out by yourself."

The girl's face was pale, her body trembled more and more, and she was nailed to the spot without saying a word. Bai Yueyu stepped forward to block Liu Zong's gaze, as if she was straightening the girl's bun, and whispered a few words in her ear.

The woman dug her nails deep into the flesh and walked in step by step with her head buried in the tray and holding it. The door to the study was closed again when she entered, and her red eyes were like a sheep walking into the mouth of a tiger.

Liu Zong and Bai Yueyu waited outside for a while, and after a while, they only heard a sound of falling and cracking inside, and the woman's exclamation flashed, and then calmed down, and the girl did not come out again.

Liu Zong nodded at Bai Yueyu expressionlessly, and Bai Yueyu turned around and left with a smile. When I got out of the courtyard, I saw Cai Qing waiting at the door, and when I saw the master come out and looked behind her, I was surprised and envious: "The prince really accepted her, master, so what should we do next?" ”

Bai Yueyu looked at the mood very well, and lazily raised her hand to cover the sun and said, "Let's go back and rest first, my body is not good yet." ”

Cai Qing was stunned for a moment, thinking that the master didn't say that he was going to rush to compete for favor before the prince forgot her, so he was busy sending this Qian girl to the prince's collapse, why is he not in a hurry now?

It's just that Bai Yueyu has never been a good-natured master, and she didn't dare to ask more, so she had to follow back to the courtyard carefully.

When the two of them walked through the corridor, they happened to see the girl in Zhu Rouyun's yard returning to the courtyard with a meal, Bai Yueyu's face that was fine just now suddenly became gloomy, and she almost gritted her teeth and said: "This slut, now the prince doesn't even want to see her, how can she still be so happy!" ”

The people of the palace are all people who see the wind and steer the rudder, and when they see that people are gaining momentum, they sharpen their heads and make up a single in front of them, and when they lose power, the wall falls down, and everyone pushes more.

It stands to reason that although Zhu Rouyun was not questioned by the prince in the end, everyone could see that the prince was angry with her, and Zhu Rouyun had obviously fallen out of favor.

According to the consistent style of these people in the house, it would be good for her to be able to have some leftovers and cold rice, and she could even eat better than her, so Bai Yueyu couldn't help but be surprised.

Cai Qing pursed her lips and said indignantly: "Auntie has been raising her body in the house these days, I don't know, this Aunt Zhu doesn't know what means she has used, not only escaped, but also made Concubine Lan look at her with admiration."

Just these days, the palace asked my aunt to come over and see it twice, and each time she brought a lot of good things, and now everyone in the house knows that Aunt Zhu has won the favor of Concubine Lan, so naturally they are all in a hurry. ”

Bai Yueyu's face was pale, and she said hatefully: "She killed my child's life, and I want to forget it, I will not be reconciled." Cai Qing, you wait and see, one day I will make her life worse than death! ”

King Jian returned to the palace in anger, and the atmosphere in the prince's mansion was not relaxed.

After slowing down all the way, Ji Lingyun already understood the reasons and concerns for Ji Chengyu to do this. But even so, he still held his breath, and his face was really not good-looking.

The two of them entered the study with their front and back feet, and the red kite guarding the door also followed, and the atmosphere in the study was a little solemn for a while.

After a while, Xu Quan came in to report and present the piece of firewood that Ji Lingyun had taken from the altar, and said, "There is nothing wrong with this firewood, the pine tree that was paid tribute to the Internal Affairs Office itself is problematic. ”

Ji Lingyun's fingers knocked on the table and stopped, and Xu Quan said: "The pine tree used to make the beacon smoke is to be made into dry wood, and someone soaked the pine tree in water mixed with frost powder, so that the pine trunk wood made is covered with a layer of frost powder. The frost powder resists fire, and the oil melts into water when it encounters fire, and ordinary fire can't burn. ”

Ji Lingyun sneered and said: "Lingshuang powder can only be solved by sulfur powder made of flint, so Ji Sihong will be so ambitious when he carries sulfur powder with him, and he feels that he will definitely be able to ignite the smoke." ”

The red kite also said: "The subordinates got the news of the master and immediately asked people to check, it was the Lingchuan Chen family who paid tribute to the pine trees in the palace, and the pine trees that sacrificed to the sky in previous years were also the tributes of the Chen family." ”

Speaking of this, the red kite paused before continuing: "There is nothing wrong with the Chen family itself, but after careful investigation, the subordinates found that this Chen family is the maiden family of the noble mother. ”

Ji Chengyu, who had been silent, finally spoke, looked at Ji Lingyun and said, "Lingyun, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Ji Lingyun was also silent for a moment, and then said: "If I didn't know that the person who harmed me in the past was the Fourth Emperor Brother, I would definitely think that it was King Jian's mother and son who borrowed a knife to kill people and cause trouble." But now, Brother Huang, I don't know. ”

Hearing the self-deprecation in his tone, Ji Chengyu motioned for the two to go down, and only the two brothers were left in the room before they said, "Lingyun, I know that you are dissatisfied because of today's incident. But I am not soft on Ji Sihong today, just because I am different from him, he can ignore the will of the people for the sake of power struggle.

But I'm different, I'm the crown prince and the prince of a country. So I can't, I have too many burdens on my shoulders, so I have more scruples to worry about, and I can't let it go and risk the people and the people's hearts. ”

After a while, Ji Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief, he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I understand the emperor's dilemma, and I also understand your good intentions. It's just that letting go of King Jian and Concubine Lan so easily this time may make him arrogant and more unscrupulous in the future. ”

Ji Chengyu closed his eyes and turned to look at a painting behind the desk. It was a wilderness, empty and desolate with a few brushstrokes, and at the end of that wilderness there was a tall building.

It's cold in the heights, but you can only taste it independently.

"You should know why my father is so tolerant and indulgent to King Jian, not only because of Concubine Lan, but also because of me, just like my father supported Prime Minister Zuo to contain Taifu."

When Ji Chengyu turned around and looked at Ji Lingyun again, his expression was already as usual, and he said in a deep voice: "Therefore, if the team uniforms King Jianwang and Concubine Lan can't kill with one blow, they still need to wait for the opportunity." ”

In the middle of the night, when Ji Lingyun came out of the study, he saw Gu Fang standing at the door like a wooden stake. Xu Quan also waited aside, and when he saw the two of them coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "It's already past dinner, the master and His Royal Highness King An are afraid that they are already hungry, and the kitchen has already prepared a meal, and I invite the two of you to move to the flower hall to eat." ”

Ji Lingyun stretched out without any image, yawned and said, "There is no need for dinner, I am really tired after a busy day." Brother Huang doesn't have to send it, I'll go back to sleep first, and I'll wait until tomorrow to talk about the big things. ”

Ji Chengyu shook his head helplessly, so he had to go with him.

Gu Fang met Ji Chengyu and went back with Ji Lingyun, the master and servant got into the carriage, Ji Lingyun asked lightly: "Have you done everything that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told you?" ”

Gu Fang nodded and replied: "Nanyang is Liao Guangtian's chassis, his subordinates rushed forward, and the information they found was limited, and they have found some clues together with Miss Hongluan in the past few days." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the rest would be handed over to Miss Hongluan, and let me go back to the prince's marriage although the master. ”

Ji Lingyun nodded, his face gradually sank, and Fang Cai was also sleepy and gone.

He knocked on the carriage and suddenly said, "Ah Wu, stop." ”

Waiting for the carriage to stop, he got off the carriageway without waiting for Gu Fang's reaction: "You go back with Ah Wu first, this king wants to go alone." ”

Ah Wu saw that Ji Lingyun's expression was different, and he was not drunk, so he didn't dare to beak. Quickly remembering the sound of the carriage behind him, Ji Lingyun walked forward without looking back, his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a moment, he suddenly paused, turned around and said, "Didn't this king say that he wanted to walk alone?" ”

Gu Fang's voice was as emotionless as ever, "Gu Fang is the prince's personal guard, and he should be his personal guard. ”

Ji Lingyun raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "I don't know how this king was blind in the first place, and he actually picked on your wood." ”

With that, he continued to walk, and the imperceptible footsteps of Gu Fang followed him as well. The moonlight is bright, and Ji Lingyun's shadow is long, and it is also very thin. The footsteps were unhurried, it was really a leisurely stroll, and he asked casually: "Gu Fang, you have known a lot of palace secrets by my side over the years. In your opinion, my father and his ...... How is it? ”

After a pause, he added: "What you say tonight will not reach the ears of the third person, and after tonight, this king will be a dream." Therefore say whatever you want, and this king forgives you innocence. ”

After a long time, there was a sound behind him.

"Your Majesty is a wise man."

Just six words made Ji Lingyun stunned on the spot, and then suddenly realized.
